Setting the HiQnet Node Address
Before enabling HiQnet, use the HIQNET ADDR Vistonics control to set a suitable
HiQnet node address for the console. The HiQnet node address can be any number
in the range 0 – 65,535 but it must be a unique number within the network in order to
avoid conflicts with other HPro devices.
You will need to use System Architect to find out what the node addresses of other
equipment are to ensure there are no conflicts. The Vi node address will be set to a
default value of 2717 unless it has been changed previously, and may be left at this
address as long as this is not already being used elsewhere in the network.
To set the HiQnet address, press the button within the HiQnet Address Vistonics
control (see screenshot on previous page). A keyboard will be opened which will
allow the default address to be edited.
Note that it will take up to 10 seconds for the new address to appear after the Enter
button on the keyboard is pressed, and the console will be unresponsive during this
time –this is normal.
Once the IP address is set and the HiQnet node address
has been confirmed as unique in the network, you can
enable the HiQnet functionality by pressing the ON button
in the far left Vistonics control.
Enabling HiQnet will cause all the Vistonics controls in the
section to change from greyed-out to orange.
A list of information relating to the current HiQnet setup
including a green 'OK' indicator is now displayed on the
left side of the HiQnet Setup page, indicating a healthy
connection.
